Focused on the essentials with Fruits First from Apparat Gaming
Apparat Gaming, the developer of slots with a German accent, has added a touch of Augenweide (eye candy) to its latest classic fruit slot to hit the market.
Fruits First promises a classic game with a fresh look with the title taking a 5×3 reel format and with five active paylines. This is a game where players really can get fruity, with the traditional Grape, Melon, Lemon, Cherry, Orange, Bell and 7 symbols landing on the reels.
Fruits First is a simple game, but one that reduces to the max by focusing on the essentials: Sleek but modern visuals, fun and of course big win potential. Line up five of those all-important 7s and players can win 1,000x their bet.
Rising star developer Apparat Gaming has earned a reputation for providing online slots that capture the true essence of the German stereotype. Each title is delivered with highest design standards, solid engineering, and no sense of humour whatsoever. And Fruits First is no different…
Fruits First has been certified for launch in core regulated markets including the UK, Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece, Bulgaria, Isle and Man, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and of course Germany.
Martin Frindt, Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming, said: “Classic slots are loved by the players, and with Fruits First we deliver a slot reduced to the maximum – pure entertainment, focused on the essentials, and striking visuals that will draw players in.
“Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this game – Fruits First captures the essence of a classic slot but with a modern twist! Make fruits great again!
Jackpot Digital Inc., the world’s leading provider of innovative dealerless electronic poker gaming solutions, has announced that it has received license approval from the Maine Gambling Control Unit (MGCU).
This milestone marks a significant achievement for the Company, as it is the first state-issued license it has received in the US. This state license allows the Company to install its casino machines throughout all of Maine.
“Receiving approval from MGCU is a major accomplishment. Until now, our U.S. licenses have been exclusively through our valued Indian Gaming casino partners, who issue licenses for their respective properties. A state license, however, grants us access to the entire state. We have several additional state licenses pending approval, representing a major expansion opportunity into larger state-regulated commercial casinos,” Jake Kalpakian, CEO of Jackpot Digital, said.
“More immediately, this MGCU approval enables us to offer Jackpot Blitz to gaming operators across Maine. We are excited to bring our innovative products to Maine’s gaming community and reinforce our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology-driven entertainment,” Mr. Kalpakian added.
Jackpot Digital’s flagship product, the Jackpot Blitz ETG, offers a modern, dealerless, player-friendly poker solution that integrates traditional multiplayer poker games with cutting-edge digital technology. The MGCU license will enable the company to offer its innovative gaming solutions to operators throughout Maine, driving new revenue opportunities and enhancing player experiences.

International Game Technology PLC announced that IGT PlaySports is growing its sports betting presence in Nevada via a three-property, sports betting technology and services agreement with GN NV Holdings LLC, owner and operator of the Golden Nugget Casinos. Per the agreement and through a phased rollout, IGT PlaySports will power retail and mobile sports betting at Golden Nugget Casino Lake Tahoe first, followed by Golden Nugget Casino Las Vegas, and Golden Nugget Casino Laughlin.
Golden Nugget Casino Lake Tahoe was the first of the three casinos to convert to an IGT PlaySports-powered sportsbook after launching its retail sportsbooks in January 2025. Golden Nugget Casino Laughlin and Golden Nugget Casino Las Vegas are expected to launch their new sports betting programs later this year, first with retail betting and then with a mobile betting option.
“Golden Nugget Casinos in Nevada are thrilled to partner with IGT PlaySports to elevate our retail and mobile sports betting experience statewide. Nevada sports bettors are savvy and experienced players. As we reintroduce Golden Nugget’s betting program, our priority is to deliver a seamless and enhanced experience with user-friendly technology that offers outstanding features, including advanced betting options and real-time updates to keep players engaged,” Gerry Del Prete, Chief Operating Officer-Gaming of Fertitta Entertainment, said.
“Given the scale and maturity of Nevada’s sports betting market, adding three Golden Nugget Casinos to IGT PlaySports’ customer roster is an achievement that speaks to the quality of our technology and team. We look forward to helping Golden Nugget Casinos elevate their sports betting program, execute their vision and engage sports fans in Nevada with localized offers, a diverse betting menu and superior technology,” said Joe Bertolone, IGT SVP Sports Betting.
In addition to deploying the award-winning IGT PlaySports platform, the three Golden Nugget Casinos will offer IGT PlaySports’ QuickBet self-service betting kiosks and leverage the expertise of the Company’s Trading Advisory Services team.

The Dutch gambling regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has published its Match-fixing Trend Analysis for 2024.
In 2024, there were 13 reports from license holders, compared to 6 reports in 2023. The reports concern striking betting patterns, risky matches and striking changes in odds. Following the investigation into these signals, the KSA has issued 4 warnings and a guideline with guidance for the market will follow shortly.
In the Trend Analysis Match Fixing 2024, the KSA provides an overview of the reports it received in the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. It concerns 13 reports of possible match fixing, originating from 8 different license holders. Compared to the trend analysis for the year 2023, the number of reports has more than doubled. Possible explanations are efforts by the KSA to create more awareness of the reporting obligation among licensed providers or a global increase in reports of match fixing. A number of the signals were reason for investigation. Based on this, the KSA issued 4 warnings.
The KSA will make even more efforts to point out to licensed providers their legal obligation to inform the KSA without delay of indications that point to an increased risk of manipulation of an involved match. Guidance for the market in the form of a guideline will follow shortly. In addition, the KSA will continue to monitor the signals.
One of the goals of the Gambling Act is to combat gambling-related match-fixing at licensed providers of sports betting. The KSA has no legal task in detecting match-fixing, but examines whether licensed providers do enough to prevent match-fixing.
For this purpose, the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) was established within the KSA, a reporting point for signals of possible match-fixing in gambling.
